    amazing work. how could you not love that.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    Also great work on that brush definately one of a kind!
    Thx for the Info Martin,will find a way if possible.

    I need to revisit turning soap stone. I have a talon chuck now, which will clamp onto the piece. I love that new chuck, makes turning way easier. Regular tools should do the job just fine. I've turned tru stone with HSS tools with no problems.

    Now if you could just make a brush holder for it out of the same type of soapstone,,,,

    I actually have one, but it won't fit this brush. It fits a 20mm knot, and if I thinned the arms to fit this one, it would probably be too weak to hold it.

    Food for thought though...

    Here's the brush holder I made a while back: http://straightrazorpalace.com/misce...tml#post983246

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
